The Prior Arts
Presently on the market, filtering device is designed to connect to front end of faucet, such that when the faucet is closed, the filtering device is connected directly to the water pipes of the local water supply plant. Therefore, when the pressure in the water pipe is increased suddenly, it could produce great impact on the filtering device, or it could even break the filtering device, to cause property damage to the user.
Therefore, at present, the design and performance of the filtering device is not quite satisfactory, and it leaves much room for improvement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the problems and drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention provides a plunger type safety valve, that is optimized in design and simple in construction, to avoid the filtering device being subject to high pressure and be damaged.
In order to achieve the objective mentioned above, the present invention provides a plunger type safety valve, including: a valve body, a valve rod, and a tube piece. Wherein, the valve body is provided with a first water inlet port and a first water outlet port, the first water inlet port is connected to a water pipe of a local water supply plant, while the first water outlet port is connected to a water input end of a filtering device. The valve rod is disposed vertically in an inner chamber of the valve body, to switch between connection and disconnection of the first water inlet port and the first water outlet port. And the tube piece is connected fixedly with a lower end of the valve body, to form into a chamber body, and is provided with a second water inlet port and a second water outlet port, the second water inlet port is connected to a water output end of the filtering device, the second water outlet port is connected to faucet, in the tube piece is provided with a water passage channel connected to the second water inlet port and the second water outlet port, and on the water passage channel is provided with water passage holes connected and in communication with the chamber body.
In the descriptions above, the valve rod is of an inverse T shape. The outer surface of the rod body is installed with a first sealing ring, a second sealing ring, and a third sealing ring, while the outer surface of its head is installed with a U shape sealing ring. An upper spring is disposed between the valve body and the upper end of the valve rod.
Further, in the descriptions above, the first water inlet port and the first water outlet port are disposed in opposite direction facing each other. The first sealing ring is disposed above the first water outlet port, the third sealing ring is disposed below the first water inlet port, and the second sealing ring is disposed below the first water outlet port and above the lowest position of the first water inlet port, to open or close the connection between the first water inlet port and the first water outlet port.
In the following, the operations of the plunger type safety valve are described in detail.
The Open Process
When the faucet is opened, the water pressure in the chamber formed by the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring is close to 0 Mpa. Due to the driving of the upper spring and the water pressure exerted on the valve rod, the valve rod is pushed to move downward.
The Close Process
When the faucet is closed, the water pressure in the chamber body at the lower portion of the valve rod is produced by area difference, and this will push the valve rod to move upward, to close the main water route connected to the water pipe of the local water supply plant, so as to reduce water pressure on the filtering device, hereby achieving protection of the filtering device.
Pressure Reduction and Protection
When the main water route is closed, since the chamber body at the lower portion of the valve rod has enough space, so that the pressure on the filtering device is transferred gradually outward. As such, the pressure exerted on the rear end of the filtering device is reduced, also the pressure exerted on the front end of the filtering device is reduced, thus achieving good protection for the filtering device.
In the present invention, the pressure difference between faucet open and close is used to control the open and close of the safety valve. When the faucet is closed, the safety valve closes the front end water route of the filtering device, to avoid the filtering device being exerted high pressure for a long period of time. The safety valve is convenient to install, and is suitable to use with various types of filtering devices.
Further scope of the applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed descriptions given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed descriptions and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the present invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the detailed descriptions.
